Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of security window film and its application to glass windows, and, in particular, to a method and apparatus for edge mounting security window film in a window frame.
  • Break and entry crimes are a well documented and, apparently, daily occurrence in many, if not all, cities.
  • Break and entry into commercial retail establishments is a particularly vexing problem in that, on the one hand, it is desirable for the retail establishment to have large attractive displays of their wares behind panoramic glass windows so as to advertise and promote the establishment's wares, and on the other hand, such large windows and their associated displays of wares, provide an enticing target for the criminal element who count on being able to break the glass from the outside and grab the wares on display through the open window frame.
  • Security film is typically a thin, transparent, polymer film providing a resilient high tensile strength barrier which, when adhered against an interior surface of a glass window, resists complete shattering of the glass when an attempt at penetration is made from the outside.
  • One commercial supplier of security window film are Metallized Products in St. Moscow, Fla., U.S.A., who supply 12 mil and 14 mil cross weaved polyester film under the trademark Sun-gard.
  • Another supplier of security window film is 3MTM who market safety and security film under the trademark Scotchshield. ScotchshieldTM is held out by 3MTM as resisting penetration by keeping the glass in place during attempted break-ins, storms and earthquakes.
  • the GlasslockTM solution is to extend the edge of security window film beyond the edge of the glass so as to overlap a significant portion of the window frame with security window film.
  • Rigid base plates are then overlaid over the overlapping area.
  • the rigid base plates are screwed into the window frame so as to sandwich the edges of the window security film between the rigid base plate and the window frame. In this fashion, when bowing of the broken glass tensions the film, the tension is resisted by the mechanical mounting of the edges of the window security film to the window frame.
  • the GlasslockTM device is typically employed to bend the edges of the security window film at 90 degrees to the plane of the window so that the mechanical mounting of the film to the window frame by means of screws through the rigid base plate is assisted by bending of the film around an edge of the plate adjacent the window.
  • Applicant has determined that it is unnecessary and likely counter-productive to perforate the security window film by screws or the like extending through rigid plates. It is, further, unnecessary to bend the film over the edge of the rigid base plate as a means of applying the tensile load from the film to the rigid base plate, although it does help prevent the film merely tearing free of the mounting screws due to the stress concentrations around the holes punctured in the film by the mounting screws.
  • VHB 4945 double sided adhesive tape when used in the method and apparatus of the present invention, resists straight pull tension of approximately 1,000 pounds per square inch on security window film. Applicant has determined that if lesser security applications are required, for example, requiring approximately 225 pounds per square inch, resistance to straight pull tension on the security window film, VHB 4925 double sided adhesive tape may be employed.
  • the present invention is one of attractive simplicity.
  • the present invention is well adapted to retrofitting security window film onto existing glass windows.
  • the apparatus of the present invention for mounting security window film to a window frame comprises an elongate tensile loading transfer member having first and second adjacent elongate load bearing flanges and corresponding first and second respective elongate bearing surfaces thereon.
  • first and second elongate double sided foam adhesive tape strips are mounted or mountable, on first sides of the adhesive tape strips, along respective the first and second bearing surfaces.
  • the first adhesive tape strip or mounted or mountable on its second side, opposite to the first side, to an edge of a sheet of security window film having a thickness of at least 10 mil adhered to a glass window pane second adhesive tape strip is mounted or mountable on its second side, opposite to the first side, to an edge of a window frame adjacent the edge of the sheet of security window film.
  • the first and second adhesive tape strips are adapted to bear approximately 225 lbs per square inch in tension applied to the tape strips and to said security window film when adhesively mounted to the tensile load transfer member by said first adhesive tape strip and to the window frame when mounted to the tensile load transfer member by the second adhesive tape strip.
  • the first and second adhesive tape strips are adapted to bear approximately 1000 lbs per square inch in tension applied to the tape strips and to the security window film when adhesively mounted to the tensile load transfer member by the first adhesive tape strip and to said window frame when mounted to the tensile load transfer member by the second adhesive tape strip.
  • the tensile load transfer member is a metal strip shaped to conform to the intersection between the edge of the sheet of security window film and the edge of the window frame adjacent the edge of the sheet of security window film, and the first and second flanges extend over the edge of the sheet of security window film and the window frame respectively so as to sandwich the first and second adhesive tape strips respectively between the flanges and the security window film and edge of the window frame respectively.
  • the first adhesive tape strip is mountable to the first bearing surface
  • the second load bearing flange is formed as a lip relative to the first load bearing flange for mounting the lip over an edge of the window pane so as to extend the first load bearing flange inwardly over the window pane, from the edge of the window pane, and over the edge of the sheet of security window film to thereby sandwich the first adhesive tape strip between the first load bearing flange and the edge of the sheet of security window film.
  • FIG. 1 is, in an enlarged partially broken away cross-sectional view, the adhesive edge mounting of a security window film to a window frame of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are, alternative embodiments of the edge mounting of window security film to a window frame of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is, in an enlarged partially broken away cross-sectional view, the adhesive edge mounting of a security window film to an edge of a window pane of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4a is, in perspective view, a prior art window frame having a glass pane conventionally mounted therein.
  • FIG. 4b is, in perspective view, the window frame of FIG. 4a being modified according to the method of one embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4c is, in perspective view, the window frame of FIG. 4a with one embodiment of the apparatus for edge mounting security window film of the present invention retrofitted thereto.
  • glass window pane 10 is mounted within window frame 12 within channel 14 and secured between resilient gaskets 16.
  • Glass window pane 10 has outwardly facing exterior surface 10a and inwardly facing interior surface 10b.
  • Security window film 18 which advantageously may be 12 mil or 14 mil cross weaved polyester film is cut to the size of the exposed or exposable area of window frame 12 and mounted thereto by methods well known in the art.
  • An appropriately shaped tensile loading transfer strip 20 is selected depending on the manner in which the edge portion of 18a of security window film 18 is to be adhesively mounted and secured to either interior surface 12a of window frame 12 or edge 10c of glass windowpane 10.
  • tensile loading transfer strip 20 is, in cross section, bent at 90 degrees so that first bearing flange 22 is at right angles to second bearing flange 24.
  • the edges 22a and 24a of first and second bearing flanges 22 and 24 are bent, and in particular at least edge 24a, so as to form cavities 26 and 28 between, respectively, first and second bearing flanges 22 and 24 when tensile loading transfer strip 20 is mounted as illustrated into the intersection between security window film 18, at edge portion of 18a, and window frame 12 at interior surface 12a.
  • Cavities 26 and 28 are sized to respectively accommodate snugly therein corresponding strips of double sided adhesive tape 30 such as VHB 4925 double sided foam tape for low security applications and VHB 4945 double sided foam tape for high security applications.
  • Double sided tape strips 30 provide resilient adhesive bonding between edge portion 18a and first bearing flange 22 and between interior surface 12a and second bearing flange 24. Once adhered, double sided tape strips 30 act to transfer a tensile load in direction A on security window film 18 such as would occur if glass window pane 10 was broken inwardly in direction B, and transfers the tensile load via double sided tape strips 30 and tensile loading transfer strip 20 to interior surface 12a and window frame 12.
  • Tensile loading transfer strip 20 is preferably a metal strip advantageously according to the following specifications:
  • tensile loading transfer strips 20 are shaped so as to accommodate differently shaped and sized mullions 32 on the interior of window frame 12.
  • tensile loading transfer strip 20 is generally planar with second bearing flange 24 being offset from first bearing flange 22 by generally the thickness of mullion 32.
  • transfer of the tensile load does not include transfer of the load through mullion 32 in that tensile loading transfer strip 20 is W shaped to fit over mullion 32 so that first and second bearing flanges 22 and 24 extend outwardly on either side of mullion 32.
  • the tensile load is transferred between security window film 18 and interior surface 12a of window frame 12 directly between double sided tape strips 30 via tensile loading transfer strip 20 only.
  • tensile loading transfer strip 20 secures security window film 18 at edge portion 18a to edge 10c of glass window pane 10 rather than window frame 12.
  • first and second bearing flanges 22 and 24 being bent at 90 degrees with respect to each other so as to direct second bearing flange 24 outwardly of glass window pane 10 and over interior surface 12a of window frame 12
  • second bearing flange 24 is bent inwardly at 90 degrees to first bearing flange 22 so as to form a lip which may be hooked behind glass window pane 10 residing in channel 14 so as to extend second bearing flange 24 at least partially over edge 10c.
  • only one double sided tape strip 30 is required, namely, between edge portion 18a of security window film 18 and first bearing flange 22.
  • stop 34 and resilient gasket or wedge 36 Illustrated in FIG. 4 in dotted outline is stop 34 and resilient gasket or wedge 36.
  • stop 34 and the associated gasket 16 (not shown) is first removed so as to expose more of interior surface 10b.
  • Tensile loading transfer strip 20 and its associated double sided tape strip 30 is then installed over edge portion 18a.
  • Stop 34 is then reinstalled and a resilient gasket or wedge 36, for example, having a thickness of 0.090 inches, inserted between first bearing flange 22 and stop 34.
  • FIGS. 4b and 4c illustrate, respectively, the embodiment of FIG. 4 once installed looking from the interior of glass window pane 10 and looking from the exterior of glass window pane 10.
  • wedge 36 is being installed into the gap between first bearing flange and stop 34.
  • double sided tape strip 30 may be viewed as adhesively adhered to interior surface 10b and first bearing flange 22 within cavity 26.
